<body>
<p>
The following table show how nested tables inherit colors from the wikitable class (here it was renamed "global").
</p>
<table class="global">
<caption>Global table</caption>
<tr>
	<th>TH: should have pink bg</th>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>TD: white bg</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>
		<table class="nested">
		<caption>Nested table</caption>
		<tr>
			<th>Nested TH: transparent</th>
			<td>Nested TD: transparent</td>
		</tr>
		</table>
	</td>
</tr>
</table>

<p>
With child selector we could limit the wikitable styling to the direct childs of the table. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer 6.0 does not support child selector. See <a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33752">our bug #33752</a>.
</p>
<table class="childemu">
<caption>Global table</caption>
<tr>
	<th>TH: should have pink bg</th>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>TD: white bg</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>
		<table class="nested">
		<caption>Nested table</caption>
		<tr>
			<th>Nested TH: transparent</th>
			<td>Nested TD: transparent</td>
		</tr>
		</table>
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong>The nested caption keep the green background. The nested table keep the black border. This is because those declarations are global so we did not reset them.</p>
